GitHub Node Size Limits

Describe the problem/error/question

Is there a limit to the size of a file that can be downloaded from GitHub using GitHub Node?

What is the error message (if any)?

No Error. When I try a small readme it gets the data but when I try a 7mb file it says it finished ok but the file size is okb
